Three Super
Eagles’ Ahmed Musa, Kenneth Omeruo and Nnamdi Oduamadi received serious knocks
in Thursday’s gritty loss to South American champions, Uruguay.
Ever
impressive central defender, Kenneth Omeruo, has a deep cut just above his eyes
and has been wearing a plaster since after the game. Omeruo picked up the injury
why attempting a header at goal in one of his adventurous moves to salvage the
game for the Eagles.
On his part
Musa has a knock in the ankle that almost forced him out of the game but for
the fact that the Eagles have made the three allowed changes.
Oduamadi seemed
to be the worst hit as he was forced out
of the match with an ankle strain and as at Friday afternoon he was still
limping while Head Coach Stephen Keshi has urged medics to speed up the
recovery process of his three key players.
The medical duo of Dr Ibrahim Gyaran
and Wale Oladejo, Phisiotherpist have assured that they will work round the
clock to ensure the players fitness for the Eagles next game.
Meanwhile,
FIFA has asked the Nigerian side to forward to it the final destination points
of all its players to it so as to prepare their tickets to their various
clubsides incase the team fails to make it to the semi finals. FIFA made the
request on Friday.
“We have to make this public so that at the end of the day
some of us in the team will not be accused of wishing the team bad in the
middle of a tournament.
It’s the norm in international tournaments to do that
but there was hues and cries about it at Afcon 2013”, revealed Team Secretary
Day Enebi Achor.
